Traffic jam in Parliament, invitation from Minister Ciriani to the Council of Ministers to 'hold back on the decrees'

An appeal to slow down, at least for the next few weeks, and avoid bringing other law decrees to the Council of Ministers for consideration, given the amount of work that Parliament is already dealing with. Before moving on to the launch of two new urgent measures, the ministers, requested by the head of Relations with Parliament Luca Ciriani, took stock of the state of the art of the laws in progress between now and the end of the year.

"With these we have 12 decrees to convert, and there is the maneuver", in addition to some bills in an advanced stage of examination and the bill on competition which must be closed by December 12, the minister reminded his colleagues, essentially asking not to bring any more decree laws to the Council for consideration before December.

"Let's try to approve them later, to have time for the conversion between January and February", the invitation to the other ministers.

To date, there are technically 13 decrees being converted in Parliament, although they will drop to 12 in the next few hours with the final green light from the Senate for the fuel decree at the beginning of September. Expiring by November - and currently still at first reading - there is also the school decree, the decree blocking the ban on Euro 5 diesel and a justice decree (which, among other things, gives the anti-mafia prosecutor powers also for proceedings against minors).

Then in December an environmental decree expires, the last decree for the former Ilva, the decree on juvenile crime (the so-called 'anti-maranza' decree), the one with the funds for road transport and agriculture and the one, approved last week, extending the functions of the Anac pending the renewal of the members (and the president) of the public procurement authority. Then there is the decree for the Campi Flegrei, approved a few weeks ago and still awaiting stamping and now the two approved today, the Bills decree and a new Infrastructure decree.

Other ministers, according to reports, are preparing "urgent" measures, and it is possible that more than one will try to exploit the vehicle of the changes to the Budget law, which comes into force on January 1st. Then, at the end of December, like every year, the traditional Milleproroghe decree is expected and, as announced by Defense Minister Guido Crosetto, also the new "framework" decree for sending aid (and weapons) to Ukraine.
